Crystal structure of bis(2-propyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium) tetrachloridozincate(II), C10H13Cl4N2Zn

“…There is only one kind of hydrogen bonds: N-H· · · Cl, which link the cations and anions to generate a two-dimensional supramolecular structure. All bond lengths and angles of the title compound are comparable with its analogues [5][6][7][8][9]. In detail, the bonding parameter of the title cations are in perfect accord with literature known 1Hbenzo[d] imidazol-3-ium salts [10,11].…”

“…Known as organic bases, benzimidazole and their derivatives are readily to be protonated. There are some records of 1or 2-substituted benzimidazoles used as cations to counter the negative charges of tetrachloridozincate anions [5][6][7][8][9]. As shown in the figure, the asymmetric unit consists of two 2propyl-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium cations and one tetrachloridozincate anion.…”
